I'll take it! Money sent.

If I were to put together a hunting rifle I'd choose a different scope. The k525i is a heavy tactical scope which seems like an odd match for a lightweight hunting rifle. Sort of defeats the purpose in my mind. I would have went with a lightweight hunting scope for that rifle, something along...

Are you going to hunt with this setup or just shoot targets? Kind of an odd combo of rifle and scope.

Odd stock choice for a precision AR. Everything else looks pretty sweet though.

This is what I'm using on mine: https://www.badgerordnance.com/condition-one-max-34-mm-1-54-tall-20-moa-154-342k-342kb.html

Yes

I saw a video of a dude hunting coyotes with a .50 BMG. He must have just missed him.

Looked. Couldn't find one. I did find pictures of their newer rifles with a standard style castle nut but they still aren't staked. Even their standard style castle nut doesn't have the recesses for the end plate to be staked into it. Almost like they designed it to not be staked...

Where you hear that?

This picture is from their website, today.

Some manufacturers' end plates aren't designed to be staked, KAC's QD end plate is one example. I think it's probably like everything else with the AR-15. Buy quality stuff and you won't have issues. Buy cheap shit with loose tolerances and you just might.

LMT with the dual ejector bolt would be my choice.

Every AR is a "Frankengun".
